    Call it a premonition. Call it intuition. Call it anything you like, but Pennsylvania State Trooper Jerry McNeal simply thinks of it as “that feeling.” 
    That feeling may come on without warning, so intense he can’t breathe. 
    Or, it may be a gentle nag that pulls at him until he decides to do something about it. He never quite knows what “it” is until he gets there, but when he arrives, he always knows he’s found what he is looking for. 
    During one of the biggest snowstorms of the year, Trooper McNeal feels that familiar stir. An unease that grows with each flake that falls. Its intensity pulls at him until Jerry has no choice but to venture out onto the treacherous roads, following an invisible pull that grips at his very soul. 
    Tonight, that feeling is going to take Trooper McNeal into a blizzard when the streets are supposed to be empty to save a life that would have otherwise been lost. 
    Only tonight, Trooper McNeal is not going alone…

    They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
    But first, they give me their confessions. 
    You know by now my name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
    Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
    These killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing with me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. 
    Inside this book are 4 Deathbed Confessions you don't want to miss: 
    Patient Clyde – likes to nibble on sugar cookies while watching his victim die 
    Patient Penny – likes to replace the jam in the thumbprint cookies with blood 
    Patient Andrea – she's got a thing about gingerbread cookies and revenge 
    Patient Becca – she gets no cookies and to be honest, she almost didn't make it into this book 
    WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. 
    But, these ARE the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers and such, so what do you expect?
